  Balls @ Southern Theater

  Balls is a Minneapolis-must-see for any lover of theater, vaudeville, or just simple spontaneity. Leslie Ball is a local treasure + her cabaret provides an incredibly positive + hilarious environment for artists and audiences of all kinds. In the several years I've gone, I've seen glow-in-the-dark jugglers doing routines to Weezer, I've seen couples dance while peeling root vegetables all over the stage, I've even seen Maria Bamfam and Tay Zonday! They even let me read poetry in my underwear ;-) As was noted, Balls is an uneven blend of pros+amateurs...but that's the way it should be. Never predictable and never boring. Even if there wasn't a good performance in the lot it would be worth going just to hear Ochen DJ + watch Leslie dance. P.S. -- it's been going for over 20 years! (not just 18)
